Adding to the gym’s growing amenities, Life Time will soon offer a cold plunge at more than 70 locations nationwide—including Sugar Land—by this summer, according to a Jan. 31 news release.

The details

The initiative enhances gym-goers' recovery experience, as cold plunges offer benefits such as boosting energy, alleviating inflammation and aiding recovery, according to the release.

"By integrating this into the comprehensive offerings at Life Time, we further solidify our position as the premier holistic destination for health and wellness, providing unparalleled opportunities for our members to live healthy, happy lives," Danny King, Life Time's director of recovery and performance, said in the release.

How it works


Beginners are recommended to start with a 30-second duration and slowly increase their endurance over time, according to the release. Members are encouraged to consult with experts at the gym to maximize health and wellness outcomes and avoid potential risks.

Renovations are being done at the gym to convert a hot tub into the cold plunge, according to project information from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The new feature will open at the Sugar Land gym in mid-April, Lead General Manager George Breissinger said.
